Summer Time High

Oystercatcher

Ringed Plover

Oak Hook-tip

Rustic Shoulder Knot

Shuttle-shaped Darts

﻿

Summer is finally here and it was a busy night in the bugery and the moth trap with 1 Rustic Shoulder Knot (tick), 1 Oak hook-tip, 2 Pale Mottled Willow, 4 Agonopterix heracliana, 1 White-shouldered House Moth, 1 Diamond Back Moth, 2 Brown House Moth, 2 Shuttle-shaped Dart, 1 Grey Pine Carpet and a Mompha subbistrigella (tick).
First thing this morning an Oystercatcher was flying past the window and a visit in the afternoon produced 2 Ringed Plover, 1 Dunlin, 1 Common Tern and 1 Wheatear.
Also a load more bugs that I've got to try and sort out! Its getting busy.

About Me

This is my birding and nature blog/profile. I am based at Beddington Farmlands which is being developed into a nature reserve within the Wandle Valley Regional Park in South London. I live and work from Beddington Farmlands and operate Little Oak, an environmental management company that looks after green spaces in our local area. Recently due to family commitments I've been living between London and Oxford and spending more time birding in Oxfordshire. I also have my foreign patch on the Azores where I escape to at every available opportunity. Whenever possible I leave my patches for a bit of general birding, exploring in the mobile obs (the campervan) and do a bit of music as a hobby.
